Katie said “I think I’ll leave working for you” after the man asked her to “Take care of me, some tlc and great head”

She posted: “Just a warning to anyone that goes to apply for this job.

“The guy seemed like a generally nice old man that just needed a hand around the house, I went along to the interview on Friday I took along Billiejo because am quite shy.

“Started getting a wee bit weird when he asked if a would give him a massage, I said no I wasn’t trained in anything like that he insisted, and I mean insisted I should try, I felt really awkward and I stood up, tried for 2 seconds, and sat back down.

“I told him again it makes me feel uncomfortable I would just prefer to cook and clean he said that was fine he wouldn’t ask me to do anything that made me feel uncomfortable.

“I was to start today and started getting these sexual messages offering to pay for sexual stuff. I’ve contacted the police but young ladies please do not attend any interviews like this yourself and don’t reply to his post, god knows what could of happened if a went myself.”

Elizabeth McCracken wrote: “What a dirty old f***. Creep! Get word out so nobody ends up in the house alone with him.”

Donna Cameron said: “Nothing funny about this at all. Anything could have happened to you in this house. Hope the horrible old b****** gets what he deserves.”

A Gumtree spokesman said: “Millions of people use Gumtree every day and the vast majority have a safe and successful experience.

“We’re committed to keeping our site as safe as possible.

“We always recommend that users communicate with each other through our messaging service rather than with texts and emails outside of our platform, to protect personal details.

“Also, our safety advice on our platform is to always check the person offering the job and company is real, and going along to any face to face meetings with a friend is always recommended. “Should a Gumtree user experience harassment, such as in this case, we ask that they contact us immediately and notify the police, who we also work with very closely.”
